That's interesting, we're all saying the same thing about her and everyone in the White House!

[merwin]

1. Merwin says does not know if G. W's Condi is sane

[saigon68]

42. I know she is BUTT UGLY and a War criminal

[neuvocat]

2. Pot, meet Kettle.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Ocelot says does not know if U.S.'s Rice is sane

Or any of the rest of the Regime's asshats.

[sellitman]

4. I posted this earlier and the post was removed.

No explanation either? How am I to know what I did wrong if the Mods don't let me know? I didn't post the whole story either?

<smacks forehead>

[daleo]

5. Isn't this some kind of logical paradox

I mean, how could an insane person judge the sanity of another anyway?

When it comes to PNAC, I am reminded of what Spock said:

"Madness has no purpose, but it can have a goal."

[GoddessOfGuinness]

6. That's rich.

I never realized she was such a comedienne.

[yorkiemommie1]

7. condi. honey. stop. just stop

you should have stuck to being a pianist.

[Carla in Ca]

26. Really!

A hell of a way to talk publicly about someone that has nukes! Madeleine Allbright would NEVER discuss such things, but, she has class.

[bpilgrim]

8. why because he's CALL'n your BLUFF?

whaddaya gonna do now... NUKE'em? :nuke:

peace

[Roland99]

9. Don't give the criminals any more ideas!!

[jobycom]

10. The list of things Rice doesn't know is very long indeed, but at least

she knows that George W is her husband.

[billyoc]

11. Funny thing, Condi, I was just thinking the same thing

about your husb, erm, the pResident. :eyes:

[LynnTheDem]

12. Condi, the American Diplomat.

And Americans wonder why the world hates us.

[Garbo 2004]

13. Condi's showing off her diplomatic skills again. Oy.

Matthews can say whatever he wants but she's the Secty of State. Not a way to improve relations with N. Korea. Even paranoids have enemies and N. Korea counts us among them. This sort of thing doesn't help. :crazy:

[MrPrax]

14. Another Calculated Move to Sabotage...

Given the sensitivity that the North Korean's officials treat Kim's image, this seems more calculated to drive a wedge into ongoing 6 nation negotiations and continue the US move to isolate North Korea.

The highly publized disagreement over the Roh weekend visit between South Korea and the US approaches, show that the US is still bent on derailing any multilaterial settlement.

[Robbien]

24. Yes, I believe you are right

This was a calculated move. Our foreign diplomacy is not in a negotiated settlement with North Korea.

[Ilsa]

15. I'm looking forward to hearing the results to W.'s federally

required mental health exam. He's likely as far gone as Kim Jung Il.

[rodeodance]

29. Is this in effect? I think I heard so in TX but not sure.

[truthisfreedom]

16. so? *shrug* who gives a flying hootie-hoot, condi? the lunatics are

running the asylum. don't matter much if the kids next door are nuts too.

[HR_Pufnstuf]

17. who me?

Kim Possible.

[Fovea]

18. That's ok.

We are still trying to figure out if Rice is a pathological liar, or just corrupt as a pile of dogshit.

[ogradda]

20. How about both?

They're both important hiring requirements for the * regime.

[Dulcinea]

34. Condi is in love with Boy George.

She'll do whatever he wants her to do.

[SlipperySlope]

19. Not a valid comparison...

Bush may be bad, very very bad, but I don't think he is anywhere near as bad as Kim Jong-Il.

The North Korean propaganda I've seen is pretty scary. School children being indoctrinated that "Dear Leader" is responsible for the blessings of food that they eat, and state propaganda holds that he his a living God (or barely one step below that).

Maybe North Korea serves as a warning as how bad things can get, but we (or our so-called "leader") aren't anywhere as far down the path of insanity as they are.

[pokercat999]

31. But it's a very slippery slope and the * admin mixing it up

with the religious crazies is greasing the skids, with pig fat no less.

[Igel]

39. No, he's not as bad.

He's many millions of American dead away from being as bad, even if you just count numbers, not percentages.

Juche indeed. A cult of personality that even Stalin would be shocked at, and oppression that Stalin would probably consider unnecessary, counterproductive, and unjustified.

[NVMojo]

21. What? She's got a psychiatry degree now? She can do mental

health diagnosis? Wow, what a wonder woman!

[Occulus]

22. kgfnally says CondoLEEZA Rice blows us away with the force of

the wind escaping from the gap between her teeth.

Sorry it was so wordy, but I wanted the visual to be exact.

[IndianaGreen]

23. Hey, Condi, haven't you noticed that Bush and Rumsfeld are insane!

Why don't you go back to wearing those stiletto dominatrix boots you wore to Europe?

[Nostradamus]

25. the "expert" on the USSR who failed to predict its breakup

but here is someone who did

http://www.countercurrents.org/us-senn080803.htm

[Roland99]

32. Is that link dead?

[Igel]

38. Very few predicted the collapse of the USSR.

And those who did were generally scoffed at by nearly everybody on the right and the left.

Even in the late '80s at the U. Oregon most of the Russian students (by which I mean Americans studying Russian) scoffed at the emigre teacher's prediction that the USSR was going to collapse.

Amal'rik beat your guy by a few years.

[burrowowl]

27. Well Kim is not the sanest of people

But Rice and Bu$Co are at least Sociopaths, if not Pyschopaths, so what does that make them?
Not SANE! Not only not sane but EVIL!

[rodeodance]

28. a little bit of honey would help any negiations.

[Disturbed]

30. Ms Rice couldn't make it as a pianist so..

she put forth her better skills: Lying and talkin' nonesense.

[David__77]

33. Saner than Saddam Hussein.

Hussein showed how insane it is to give an inch to the demands of the US--you get invaded and imprisoned. Kim is sitting in power instead, so how "insane" can he be?

[cliss]

36. That's a good point.

Right after the US marched into Iraq, there were some comments from Kim Jong Il. "The US invaded Iraq because they didn't have nuclear weapons". He meant that if you have nukes, the US will leave you alone.

How's that for a deterrent?

[NNN0LHI]

40. Yep, haven't seen Kim Jong-il in his underwear on my TV lately

And he was supposed to be one of them axis of evils too.

Don

[damntexdem]

35. And N. Korea's Kim doesn't know whether ...

Rice, nor her boss, are sane.

Well, it's an insane world that we now inhabit, and hope to survive in a bit longer.

[nolabels]

37. Thanks for the chuckles Roland99

The first time in a long time I got to read commentary from the original poster in LBN that was so true it slaps you in face on how obvious it is :toast:

[The Donkey]

41. Okay, I'll bite . . . .

Okay, let's face it - Kim Jong Il might be a little nuts. And it's okay if you think so, too.

But it's an entirely different level of ineptitude to say that that guy might be insane on a nationally televised interview when you're the TOP FOREIGN RELATIONS OFFICIAL in the United States. Isn't it your job to at least pretend to be all nicey-nice toward foreign leaders when you're on TV? It's not like we need even more of the world community being justifiably pissed at us, you know?

Nice going, Madame Secretary . . .

Rice questions whether Kim Jong-il is sane

WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Monday she did not know whether North Korean leader Kim Jong-il was sane, a remark that could anger Pyongyang’s unpredictable ruler.

Asked if she thought Kim was sane during an interview with MSNBC’s “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” Rice replied: “I don’t know. I’ve never met the man.” The interview was taped on Monday and was to be broadcast on Tuesday.

<snip>

The talks between North and South Korea, the United States, China, Russia and Japan have been on hold for a year because of the North’s boycott. Meanwhile, the poor, reclusive state has boasted it possesses nuclear weapons. North Korea is acutely sensitive to what US officials say about it. reuters

45. Umm, how many foreign countries has he invaded

without cause ?

By their fruits you shall know them.

46. What a diplomat

Why doesn't she just play piano recitals.

50. sorry-- I did a search on all forums

I don't know why that thread didn't show up.

[ananda]

48. mindfucked forever

So, the criminally insane Rice is now calling another leader insane?

What a mindfuck game these neofascists play. Ugh.

[waynew706]

49. The real question is?

Is Coni Rice in charge of her faculties? I don't think so if she is following the Bushki.... hmmnmmm

[Colorado Blue]

51. Ah - speaking of sane....

Oh well:)

[PittPoliSci]

52. hey! Great Idea!

let's question the sanity (thus pissing off) a guy who could eradicate the entire west coast! if that's not diplomacy, i don't know what is hot damn!

[swag]

53. As compared to, say, John Bolton?

[suegeo]

54. suegeo says Rice is incompetent

also she's a liar, she allowed 9.11 to occur on her watch, she's uptight, she's not worthy of any respect, and so on.
